Prevention of HIV/AIDS

• Abstinence from sex

• Protecting oneself before sexual intercourse

• Partners should visit the hospitals for HIV status check before marriage

• Avoid sharing sharp objects with people

• Infected mothers and pregnant women should visit the hospitals to receive precautions so that they do not transmit the virus to their babies. Antiretroviral drugs can harm the unborn baby but an effective treatment plan can prevent the HIV transmission from mother to baby.

• Health education is an important factor in reducing risky behaviour.
